Château de Festieux stands in Festieux (Aisne), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century, 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Standing at the entrance to the village of Festieux, in the Aisne department, this château backs onto the forest and combines several building periods from the 14th to the 18th century. Notable features include a dovecote, an old gateway and successive courtyards, one of which opens onto a French-style garden with a water feature and box hedges. The building still bears traces of its occupation by the German army, visible as inscriptions in the dovecote's basement.
